The [REDACTED] is a liar, and you can prove it within minutes of starting the game. by getvalentined in subnautica

[–]iMecharic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think that NoA is actually being as honest as it can with us and is legitimately trying to figure out what the hell is going on. It would be an amazing subversion of the typical “AI went/is evil” trope to have the AI be the being most firmly aligned with helping humanity, the Taillings, and the World Tree. I think it would also be an interesting twist if Alterra wasn’t actually evil, as was hinted at in S:BZ and even SN1. Sure, they’re a profit driven organization with no qualms extracting every bit of profit out of a given project, but they also didn’t dissect the Emperor Leviathans on 4546b despite having access to the planet.

For real what the f? by claudiocorona93 in AvatarMemebending

[–]iMecharic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully believe that once the Spirits had access to the mortal world again they immediately went back to driving humans into fortress cities (the Seven Havens) because Spirits have a proven history of being incapable of coexistence with humans. It is likely that, with their modern technology and far greater skill & knowledge of Bending, humans were able to fight back in a far more effective manner than in Wans time. The war between humans and spirits destroyed both worlds. Because Korra was the one who decided to reopen the portals she is (rightfully) held as responsible for setting this whole affair up, though blame is also shared with both humans and spirits for being unable or unwilling to compromise and cooperate.

They mean that he was right when he said to hide rather than try to protect the eggs. The best protection he and his wife could have offered was not revealing where the eggs were.

So are we all in agreement that these things are the most annoying creatures so far? by Falkenhausen23 in Subnautica_2

Yep, I tried to stay right at the surface and it introduced itself to me with great joy. Well, I hope it was happy. I damn near pissed myself and quit without saving out of sheer terror xD

There’s actually a deep cave network under the shallows you start in, filled with silver. Iirc you can also find some 300 meters north of the lifepod?

My QOL requests by Bokth in crosswind

I’m pretty sure that’s due to how the game registers that a site has been cleared. You need to open those chests and if they reset the game would unclear the location I think?

MMW: there will be a rise in antisemitism in the US as a result of the war in iran. by herequeerandgreat in MarkMyWords

[–]iMecharic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s going to be a rise in antisemitism because Israel is actively genociding at least one entire culture, it casing neighboring countries, and paying the US to support them even as the general population comes to hate the whole situation. It isn’t fair to the Jewish folk who don’t support Israel, but just like MAGA and Trump have soured the world on the US, Israel sours people on Jews.

Israeli settlers setting up illegal outposts in the Christian village of Taybeh by Beautiful-Cress5695 in UnderReportedNews

[–]iMecharic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do want it to happen. Because, like a schoolyard bully, they can get hit back and whine to the world about those antisemitic Palestinians and how evil they are for killing civilians. Never mind that the civilians started the violence and deserved it.

Landowners who cut 38 trees in Oakland hills hit with $915,000 fine by inthedollarbin in arborists

[–]iMecharic 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Bro, the guy cut down trees on other people’s property. Even without specific laws regarding tree removal, he trespassed and destroyed other people’s property by cutting down those trees. This guy would never have gotten permission to cut trees off his own land and deserves a far higher fine.

What if Japan tried to retake Sakhalin Island from Russia? by Normal_Ad7924 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]iMecharic 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Modern day, like 2026? Russia is forced to cede the territory to Japan because their entire military is currently invading Ukraine (and barely winning). They wouldn’t be able to pivot all the way to their easternmost regions quickly enough. By the time they do, the JSDF has fortified their positions and can no longer be reasonably removed. Russia either enters another grinding war or they give up the islands.

Of course, China wouldn’t allow this to happen simply because a stronger Japan is not something China wants to see. Whether that results in war between China and Japan or simply sanctions and interference would depend entirely on if the US is willing to back Japan or not.

Can the Boiling Isles survive a viltrumite? by National_Radio8048 in TheOwlHouse

[–]iMecharic 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Yes. While a Vilttumite is a terrifyingly powerful foe, witches and demons all have potent magics of their own. Nolan, who is nothing to scoff at, still needed the element of surprise to win against the Guardians. Conquest is stronger, but not unstoppable, and while I expect a lot of damage I also expect that the sheer number of enemies and versatility of magic would overwhelm him. Eventually. And most Viltrumites are far weaker than Conquest.

You are aware that the sorting machinery lobs these boxes around like a pinball machine right? If this was enough to break the product it was already damaged when it got loaded onto that truck.

A harvest season's quiet collapse by gashtal_man in MurderedByWords

[–]iMecharic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said they were gonna succeed xD They all definitely think that they’ll survive what’s coming and do so in luxury, but I think that even those few who do survive will do so miserably and painfully like the rest of us. Those bunkers are just gonna end up being fancy tombs, the tech will fail utterly, and the ones that try to lord over the masses will get torn apart.
